Question

I'm really worried about my lungs. Every time I go for a GAMCA medical check, the X-ray shows these small calcified spots in the lungs, and they end up rejecting me for travel to the Gulf countries. Ive never had tuberculosis or any lung disease, though I used to smoke but quit about four months ago. The reports mention calcified nodules in the left hilar region, but doctors tell me it's not a disease and there's no treatment available. I've tried various treatments like homeopathy for six months, allopathy for two months, and ayurveda for a month, but nothing worked. I also got a blood checkup, which was clear. Its just the lungs that are problematic. What can I do to resolve this issue? I really need to find a solution to be able to travel.

CALCIFIED NODULES ARE NOT A DISEASE N ALL UNTREATEDABLE. IN LONG TERM AGO ANY PULMONARY INFECTION IS THEIR UNKNOWINGLY THEY SELF LIMITS SO THE LYMPH NODES ARE CALCIFIED.
